Key to Understanding Numerology Meanings

Numerology charts are made up of the following numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22. In order to determine which number applies to you, you must add up the digits that make up your birth date or name. This sum is further reduced by consequently adding up the resulting digits until a single digit answer (or the numbers 11 or 22) is achieved. If at anytime during the equation, you come up with the numbers 11 or 22, you do not need to reduce them. The most important aspect of Numerology is determining your Life Path, which involves adding up the digits of your birth date. The example to the right explains further how to add up your digits.

Numerology is the study of numbers that helps determine and reflect a persons characteristics, talents, motivations and path in life. Letters of the alphabet also can be represented by certain numbers, and thus the sum of numbers in your name as well as your birth date have a direct cosmic relation to themselves, and to who you are. Numerology experts are able to determine key points in people lives, and moments in which to make major moves and decisions, such as traveling, investing and marriage.

Key to Understanding Numerology Meanings:

Odd numbers are masculine. Even numbers are feminine. When I say masculine and feminine, I’m not talking about a specific gender. I mean the "traits" of masculine and feminine energy within us all.

Masculine: active, creative, thrusting, and cold

Feminine: passive, receptive, yielding and warm

Masculine and feminine tendencies are visible in both sexes. In fact, many numerology numbers for women are very masculine (included mine), and visa versa. We all know men who are gentle and nurturing. And, we also know women who are aggressive and cold.

The very strong tendencies of the numbers in numerology towards the masculine even now, indicates how the world is out of balance. The shift to balance began over 100 years ago with the women's movement. A lot of the turmoil we're experiencing in the world right now is a universal attempt to bring the earth into sync with the new Aquarian Age. Numerology meanings will shift as our consciousness shifts. The nurturing power of the feminine will become revered again as it was before, during the time of the Goddess.


Numerology numbers range from 1 to 9. The numbers 11 and 22 result in numerology calculations also, and should be reduced to 2 (1 + 1) and 4 (2 + 2). Numerologists work with 1 to 9, 11 & 22.
